  • Plant hibiscus, bougainvillea, mandevilla, and allamanda vines in containers for tropical landscape color.
  • Fertilize tomatoes when the first fruits set. Spread a half cup of slow release lawn fertilizer around each plant’s drip line.
  • Want color in a shady spot? Plant caladiums, coleus, begonias, and impatiens.
  • Prune elaeagnus, pyracantha, ligustrum and photinia shrubs frequently if growing vigorously.
